We can't beat an infant in front of a camera! Geez, you guys. You oughta know better. No beer, no beatings, and no "bad" cussing where there are witnesses. I can't believe I have to tell you everything.
You have to wait until you get him alone.

I don't want to be cremated, I want to be malted.
almost time to start dropping the 'little brother' hints.

Meh, I don't think so. Tara is still yelling at Chris that she's "never having sex again as long as I live" so I don't think now is the time to suggest a second child. (She had 70 stitches, most internal. I know, I know, TMI but you can sort of see where she's coming from................)
Update: As of this morning, he is eating from a bottle a bit. He's sleepy, but was alert last night. If he responds to the antibiotics well, he could be home in another week or so!

Yeah, it was tough on Chris. Fatherhood is VERY tiring!
Sounds like things are progressing well with the little one, but, yes, once again, TMI!!!

hahaha- I just saw him a few minutes ago. He's doing very well. He might come home next week if he continues to progress. By the way, he's looking much better! He still has plenty of tubes, monitors, and wires, and he's looking like a "normal" baby now. He's breathing easily. I have more pictures to post later!

Haha, she's already feeling better. The baby is doing quite well. He's still on IV antibiotics, but he's eating well and breathing just fine.
Here's a couple more pictures from last night and this morning (after all, I am a grandmother so please indulge me!):

I love the cute puffy cheeks! My godson had the cutest little cherub face when he was a few days old...

Yeah. I'm not sure whether to laugh or be utterly revolted. Probably a combination of both......................
The best part is that he's doing so well. He's a really chubby baby, so he seems about twice the size of the other babies in the NICU.

Well, ya know that you have my congrats and best wishes and all that, and yes, baby is cute and all......Just don't make me post out of character! I have an annoying personality to defend

Guess what?!? He's doing so well that they are planning on discharging him from the NICU tomorrow! As long as his pneumonia is gone, he is free to come home by 3 PM eastern. Which is very cool, since it's a 90 minute drive and we're in central time. So, he should be home about 3:30 or so.
I know that they have no food in their house, since they've been gone more than a week so everything is probably spoiled. But we'll be able to go over and help them get settled if they need us. And tomorrow night, Quinn will be without tubes and wires for the very first time. I'm so thrilled that he'll be able to sleep in his own crib in his own house for the first time, if we're lucky!

I've been on facebook too much, I was looking for the "Like" button. I'd be clicking on it of there was one here.
As for the food, go grocery shopping for them. They'll need it, especially Mom, if she's breast feeding.

Oh, I want to! But Tara said that she really wants to go herself. She received some grocery store gift cards as a gift, and I think she wants to take Quinn to the store (her fiance is a manager at that store). But I'll be happy to do anything they need, and have offered. She said that she'll call me when she knows what she may need from us. I'm so glad they only live about a mile from me, so I can be there when they need me.

Just now tuning in after being on vacation this past week and brewing today. Glad I got to tune in to the happy ending. Hope he came home today. Handsome little guy there.
